BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH BACON

Brussels Sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables. The first time I laid my eyes on these miniature cabbages, I thought they were the cutest thing I ever saw. Unfortunately, the flavor failed me. I guess, I was then expecting something sweet (duh!) from such a delicate thing, instead of the bitter tang that greeted my tongue. I have since changed my opinion about Brussels Sprouts though. Now, they are a semi-staple in our home.

I usually boil then butter the Brussels Sprouts. I do not have much time for more elaborate preparations. Recently, I became a little more adventurous and, following some online recipes, tried broiling them. They turned out delicious. Tonight, I stepped further away from the usual - I cooked the vegetables with bacon and walnuts. I got the recipe from a bloggy friend's page and it can be found here.

Here are some photos, showing different cooking, to convince you how yummy this is. :-)
